Vikings' Asher Allen retires at age 24
ARLINGTON, Texas, Aug. 28 (UPI) -- Vernon Wells socked the first of five solo homers for Los Angeles Saturday and Angels rode the long balls to an 8-4 victory over Texas.
Mike Trout, Bobby Wilson, Peter Bourjos and Howie Kendrick also went deep for the Angels, who closed to within two games of the American League West-leading Rangers.
Wells also delivered an RBI triple, while Torii Hunter and Erick Aybar each added RBI singles for the Angels.
Ervin Santana (10-9) was only pitching on three days rest but performed well enough, holding the Rangers to four runs on four hits over seven innings as Los Angeles bounced back from an 11-7 setback in the first game of the key series.
Texas starter C.J. Wilson (13-6) was roughed up for six runs on 10 hits over five frames.
David Murphy clubbed a two-run homer for the Rangers.
